In Solidarity with Chicago's Teachers

Chicago teachers have been negotiating in good faith for a fair contract with the Chicago Public School system for months. After failing to reach agreement, Chicago teachers went to the picket lines on Monday, September 10. It is the first action of this kind in 25 years.  Below is information and resources regarding the Chicago teachers' strike.
